Atelier '08 -- Young Architects and Planners to Present Their Work to the Public

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- At its annual atelier, the University at Buffalo School of Architecture and Planning celebrates work completed throughout the year by undergraduate and graduate students in architecture and in urban and regional planning.

Atelier '08 will open March 28 with a reception from 7-9 p.m. on the first floor of Crosby Hall, UB South (Main Street) Campus.

Also on the first floor will be an exhibition of drawings, models and other work produced in freshmen and sophomore architecture studios.

Junior, senior and graduate student architecture projects will be exhibited on the second floor and graduate work in architecture, urban and regional planning and environmental design will be shown on the third floor.

Both open house and reception are free and open to the public.

A second and related exhibition in UB's Anderson Gallery will feature models of housing units for athletes that satisfy their domestic needs as well as their requirements as performers. The show opened March 22 and will continue through April 21 in the gallery, 1 Martha Jackson Place, off Englewood Avenue in Buffalo. Gallery hours are Wednesday-Saturday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday 1-5 p.m.

The models were produced by freshmen students in a studio taught by Joyce Hwang, assistant professor of architecture.

A third exhibition "Architecture of Doubt," will open March 28 in the James Dyett Gallery, Hayes Hall (next door to Crosby Hall) and will run through April 28. Gallery hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

It will be present the work of Spanish architect Eva Franch Gilabert, the school's 2007-08 Peter Reyner Banham Fellow. Her research in Buffalo focuses on three operative fields: utopias (historic), metaphors (formal -- cognoscitive) and atmospheres (experiential).
